Lakota East Men's Golf (302) won the 19-team Lebanon Invitational yesterday. "I can't tell you how proud I am of all of our young men and how good it is to see kids smiling on the course again." says Coach Combs, " As coaches, we are continuing to stress the idea of enjoying yourself on the golf course, and not focusing on the individual scores as the sole measuring stick."   

Tomorrow Bill Cunningham from The WLW Radio Station will be coming out to talk with the team about golf, emotions, loss and making the most of the situation.  Bill had a player die when he was coaching years ago, and is also an accomplished golfer.
